My local MB dealer are cleaning out their 2008 model loaner cars..
The one I am interested in is a steel grey C300 sport w/ P1 & panorama roof..
(really wish it would have the iPod kit..)
The car is about 11 month old with 13k miles on it..which means it has about 49 month and 87k miles warranty left..
The sales rep is offering to sell me the car for $28,500 + tax/fee and that will bring the total to about $31,500 here in CA..
Do you guys think this is a good price? I am really tempted b/c it's a dealer loaner car and I know they take care of their own cars..
I guess it would be better than a lease return or trade-in right?

They may take care of them but the drivers may not!

Does it have the MM package? If not, I would pass. I would pass since it only has P1, but that is your call.

The local dealer has P2 cars with MM but they have some curb rash in some cases.

Well...I pulled the trigger today and was able to have the sales rep knock the price down to $28,000...
I didn't really care for the MM package as I have so many gadgets already and I find my Nokia n85 actually is a better GPS...
Since I have T-Mobile 3G T-Zone, my phone can check live traffic, and garmin online/google live is much better than any non-internet enabled device..
However, I do wish I have the iPod kit and rear spoiler...
Does anyone know how much it would cost to have the iPod kit and rear spolier installed?

Congrats and hope you enjoy it!

The iPod kit is around $400 installed if memory serves me correct.
